章 174: Punished

Tholarian abruptly paced the space in his study. His hand agitatedly rubbed his chin. 

Lotus and Razial stood in front of him while Stephanie stood at the back, near the double doors with a snicker. 

He paused and faced his right-hand man and his daughter. 

"What's going on between the two of you? Didn't either of you pause and think for a second about the damage this sneaking in and out would cause?" He pointedly asked. 

"Nothing is going on, Father, like I said earlier. Stephanie is delusional," Lotus answered, flipping back her perfectly curled hair. There was no sign of hesitation on her face. 

"Liars, I saw them sneak out, so I waited and caught them when they returned. In their guilt, both of them attacked me and caused me injuries," Stephanie whined from behind them; her irritating voice made Lotus close her eyes to abate the storms brewing there.
